The Civic Platform is considered to be confusing to the public with conflicting messages, and intended to change the true history and facts that have elapsed provably required to avoid the accountability.

It is incomprehensible that the City of Murcia further involved in the work of excavation, consolidation and conservation, as is the responsibility of the Ministry of Culture, and once discarded the parking lot, the ownership of the land should return to its rightful owner: The Community independently, to preserve the common property of all inhabitants of the Region of Murcia.

It further criticized the still follow any directors of the excavation, the day designated by the Director-General, Enrique Ujaldón, which should be the ones to continue the excavation until the end, but paradoxically are completely removed from any decision to be adopted in relation to the site.

Understandably none of them is part of the City Council cominisiones expert or the Cominudad region.

Also from the Civic Platform remember that no item in the budget or municipal autonomous for the Reservoir, and the Department of Fine Arts has fallen more than 60% are planned for heritage conservation, while Counsel has asked citizens to contribute financially.

The Civic Platform for the Defence of the Archaeological Heritage of San Esteban has sharply criticized the triumphant speech yesterday conveyed the Autonomous Community, full of justifications for the unjustifiable, and that after 30 days of silence and more than 4,000 signatures collected in favor thereof, are being heralded the beginning of the file declaration of cultural interest to the palace complex and Andalusian district of San Esteban, but do not assume any responsibility for any error or everything that happened so far.

It is also intended to convince the public Murcia Autonomous Community that paralyzed the work of removal before the magistrate Judge's Number One Murcia issued its Order of cessation Cautionary disassembly and removal of archaeological site of San Esteban.

Remember that the Ministry approved the November 30 removal and relocation of the remains of San Esteban, which began to be carried out on December 9, the day he issued the Writ of dismantling and cessation Precautionary transfer to the archaeological site of San Esteban.

And it was not known until after the issuance of this order when the president made the remarks Valcárcel from Germany indicate that the car was out and that the site be preserved and musealizaría.

Days prior to this deadlock, both from the City of Murcia, and from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, criticized the efforts of the Citizens Platform for trying to keep the reservoir in situ, leading to cross its members of "schizophrenic."

After the stay by Judge, the statements of both institutions applauded and congratulated the Civic Platform as if the thing was not related to any of those two agencies.

Given the new statements of the Autonomous Community, Civic Platform has to point out several things:

The site is already suffering damage to some structures because that was not properly protected by the relevant authorities in due course, despite the frequent request made by the Civic Platform, and the warnings issued by the judge.

Both the removal and destruction by failing to provide protection are reported to the court, in order to refine the responsibilities on those facts.

Urge the roof of the deposit protection to prevent damage are still produced by the rains, and to be able to continue with the excavation, consolidation and protection of the site, which remaining months of excavation.

Of course, the excavation and conservation should be led by those who still remain the archaeological excavation directors, who are more familiar with the site.

No person may commence a tender for the project pending musealization excavations are completed and the report be completed archaeological site, where all the findings specified.

Furthermore this process should Musealisation to have a broad public participation, so that the Civic Platform considers that part of the Commission of Experts.

It must immediately declare a Cultural the site, as even three of the 6 advisory bodies which rule on this decision as they have in this (long before being told that it will launch the file declaration BIC).

But this statement implies the application should take immediate measures to protect all legally established Regional Cultural Heritage and the final revocation in writing of the proposed parking in San Esteban (which supposedly after almost two months since Valcárcel decided that there was no parking has not been communicated by a decision of the Council to the City of Murcia)

In addition, once declared BIC, the ownership of the garden of San Esteban should revert back on the Autonomous Community, since the granting of land to the City of Murcia for 30 years was directly linked to the implementation of parking, which with the BIC statement would be impossible to implement.

This implies that the autonomous region should take from today the completion of any work of excavation, consolidation, conservation and museological the site, and never to leave it to the consistory of Murcia, since the latter would have no jurisdiction over the site.

The Civic Platform also like to recall that in the budgets of the Autonomous Region for 2010, newly approved, there is no specific budget for the Site of San Esteban, and heading to protect the assets of the Department of Fine Arts has been reduced more than 60%.

Also, the budgets of the Municipality of Murcia not contemplate funds for any action in the Field.

Platform Ciudana surprised that now the Minister of Culture, Pedro Alberto Cruz, asked citizens funds to finance the construction of the site, unusual case in our government.

Finally, what happened in the case of St. Stephen, and what usually takes years occurring in the cultural heritage of the Region of Murcia, cause this Civic Platform has decided not to stop their claims as long as no create the Heritage Advisory Council, which should ensure adequate public participation, and independent experts, and which operate to ensure the protection of interest of all citizens before the particular interest of some companies.

That is why the Civic Platform warns the authorities to continue with their activities and claims to achieve its objectives, which are none other than the protection and enhancement of the Archaeological Heritage of San Esteban and debugging of responsibility on the actions have been and jeopardize the integrity of this important site.
